RyanTPM Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 ^^That's a very interesting teaser, i can't imagine it being a drop tower though cause they've already got one but a tower ride seems likely. We shall find out in two days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonem Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Something like Falcon's Fury? Oh yes, please. That would be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I still have the feeling it's going to be partly on top of some buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordyC Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 So.. they just posted a new video on their FB.. seems like we'll get a Falcon's fury like thingy in europe now If that is true, I am sure this will be a big hit for the park! I knew these kind of drop towers were going to pop up somewhere else, great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] Definitely an Intamin Sky Jump like Falcon's Fury. This will be a great addition to the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 So this will make it four tower rides for Gröna Lund then: - 80 meter Intamin 2nd gen drop tower (with one standup/tilt car) - 55 meter S&S Combo tower - 121 meter Starflyer - 95 meter Falcon Fury style drop tower And all crammed together in one little park. You just gotta love what Gröna Lund is doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Don't know how accurate the video is, but it looks to me to go higher than the Star Flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Don't know how accurate the video is, but it looks to me to go higher than the Star Flyer. 95 meters is what Gröna Lund posted in their "April fools" post on Facebook (which turned out to not be April fools) LINK I don't know the details about the Star Flyer, but I'm guessing that maybe the listed height of 121 meters also includes the spire on top, and that the ride portion of the tower is not that tall...??

RyanTPM Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 If it actually turns out to be an Intamin drop tower like Falcons Fury then it will be incredible, they've certainly got a really good collection of tower riders for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejon Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Experience the worst fall in history! In 2017 Ikaros is coming to Gröna Lund! Imagine sitting in a chair, dangling with your feet high above the city of Stockholm, secured by a shoulder restraint. As you're approching the top of the tower, your chair is suddenly tilting you 90 degrees, and you find yourself lying horisontally facing the ground. Then comes the drop... When Gröna Lund opens in april 2017, the visitors will be divided into those who dare and whose who don't...do you dare to try the worst fall in history? Some facts: 2 gondolas with 8 seats each Tower height: 95m Top Speed: 90km/h G-forces: 3,5 Type: Intamin Sky Jump Will be built on a bridge between Lustiga Huset and Jetline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 YES!!!!! Such an amazing ride and it will be so great in this location!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Getting around the space restriction by using a small tower with two carriages on either side. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Looks awesome and you can never go wrong with more awesome drop rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonem Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Ugh, that means I will have to go twice to Sweden in this two years. This summer for Wildfire and next year to visit Grona Lund! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 What's up with JC Superstar on the far left there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Because this park didn't have enough tower rides LOL! (picture from TPR park index) But yeah, definitely an awesome addition that will make a fantastic park even better! So happy to see another one of these built and especially somewhere awesome like Grona Lund! Amazing. Should just go for Swedish residency now. Hmmmm that might not be a bad idea....

jedimaster1227 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I love how this park continues to find new and creative ways to pack more incredible rides into its landlocked plot. Falcon's Fury is an incredible ride, so I'm sure this will impress as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejon Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 What's up with JC Superstar on the far left there? Probably got to do with the name. Ikaros is the Swedish name for Icarus, son of the master craftsman Daedalus. Together they were to flee from king Minos on the island of Crete by using wings of feathers and wax. Despite his fathers warnings, Icarus flew too close to the sun so his wings melted and he crashed. The top ornament on Ikaros will be a sun to symbolise this.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 So excited for the park! And I cant wait to see how this is actually built. But I will NEVER ride this, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deguy123 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I remember being on the other drop tower called Fritt Fall Tilt and it being about the scariest thing ever. Whoever was next to me heard sounds I've never made before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
